Takeshi Hayatsu, lecturer in architecture was commissioned by the Barbican Centre to create a tea house, that will be situated in the Centre's main gallery space next to a full-scale replica of Moriyama House designed by Ryue Nishizawa. The tea house, designed by Fujimori and constructed by Takeshi and his architecture students, will provide an interesting contrast to the professionally built Moriyama House. Hand crafting of the tea house extends to the internal fittings, such as the bronze cast doorknobs, ceramic hearth, flower vase and lampshades made in collaboration with Kingston product & furniture design students.
